NPR's Nina Totenberg: 'I Was At - Forgive the Expression - a Christmas Party...'
Topics: Political News and commentariesLiberal NPR journalist Nina Totenberg, on Inside Washington this weekend:
"I was at - forgive the expression - a Christmas party."
I want to say one thing about the budget that didn't get passed, the omnibus bill. You know, we talk a lot about - we just passed this huge tax cut in part because business said, you know, we have to plan, we have to know what kind of tax cuts we have. Well, these agencies, including the Defense Department, don't know how much money they've got and for what. And I was at - forgive the expression - a Christmas party at the Department of Justice and people actually were really worried about this. These are law enforcement people don't know exactly what kind of money they can spend for what.Embarrassed to invoke any religious terminology for Christmas or to admit she actually attended a ... "Christmas party"?
I can't help but share Sister Toldjah's wonder as to just how often the liberal Ms. Totenberg has had to apologize for calling Christmas ... Christmas ... during the course of her "hip, chatty DC cocktail circuit conversations" with her fellow liberal elites who turn their noses up at all things traditionally Christian?
And since "reporter" Totenberg apparently has trouble getting her facts straight, Ed Morrissey offers the reminder that Congress didn't pass a tax cut. They passed a bill that maintains the current tax rates in the same status they've been for seven years. In fact, taxes went up because of the renewed estate tax; it just didn't go up as much as Democrats wanted. It's only a tax cut if government feels that they were owed that tax increase and the money it would have taken out of the pockets of citizens above what they have already taken over the last decade.
